Ingredients

4 large portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed (see Tip)
½ cup pizza sauce, preferably low-sodium
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
⅓ cup chopped red bell pepper
⅓ cup chopped red onion
¾ cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
1 ounce sliced pepperoni, quartered

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place mushrooms on a rimmed baking sheet. Stir pizza sauce and Italian seasoning together in a small bowl. Spread 2 tablespoons of the sauce over the inside of each cap. Sprinkle with bell pepper and onion, then cheese. Top with pepperoni.
Bake until the mushrooms are hot and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

Tips

Tip: To prepare portobello mushroom caps, gently twist off the stems of whole portobellos. Using a spoon, scrape off the brown gills from the underside of the mushroom caps. If you prefer, purchase portobello mushroom caps, rather than whole mushrooms.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
